My widowed mother lives at an assisted living facility in High River. I believe she pays about $1600 per month for a small 1 bedroom,living room, kitchenette appt (probably about 600 sf). Its very nice. Its government subsidized. Included in her rent is 1 meal per day at the main dining room (lunch... thats the main meal each day in senior's residences), she makes her own breakfast (usually cereal) and her supper (usually soup or a sandwich or both). Her rent also includes light housekeeping and bed linen and towel changes.
She likes it there. She usually likes the meals too. They are cooked at the facility.
She has friends there and there is frequent entertainment provided. There are also weekly sightseeing day trips.
Originally she was living with my wife and I, after moving out here from Ontario. But she found it too lonely and boring. My wife and I work and we are gone from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm five days a week.
She looked into this place in High River and liked what she saw.... and moved in.
